The U.S. electric power sector reported fewer delays to install new utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects in 2023 than in 2022. In 2023, solar developers pushed back the scheduled online date for an average of 19% of planned solar capacity compared with an average of 23% in 2022.
The decrease in delays came at a time when utilities were adding more solar to the grid. In 2023, the electric power sector began operating 19 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale solar PV generating capacity, a 27% increase from the existing solar capacity at the end of 2022.
Projects can be delayed for several reasons, including complications involving permits, construction, or equipment testing. One key factor affecting solar panel installations is the availability of building materials. U.S. trade policy can also affect solar deployment.
“Considering the recent accelerated clearing of production capacity, we believe that the supply and demand situation of the photovoltaic industry could be corrected for the better in 2024,” said Wu Bohua and Cao Haihua, analysts at Changjiang Securities this month.
In 2023, solar developers pushed back the scheduled online date for an average of 19% of planned solar capacity compared with an average of 23% in 2022. Although the share of solar capacity reporting delays fell in 2023, it was still higher than the average share of delays between 2018 and 2021.
U.S. PV Deployment The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that the United States installed 15.6 GW ac of solar capacity in in the first quarter (Q1)/second quarter (Q2) of 2024 (the Solar Energy Industries Association reported 21.4 GW dc)—a 55% increase from the record achieved in Q1/Q2 2023.
